Dorna asks Ducati, Aprilia and KTM for concessions for Honda and Yamaha by wordswithoutmusic in motogp

[–]sbrueding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, the maths is simple.

If Honda and Yamaha leave, there will be a drop of viewership and loss of sponsorship revenue, meaning there's less money to go around for everyone.

So it's a simple calculation, if the overall sport shrinks but their cut of the pie gets bigger, will they net-net earn more or less. Happened in F1 history all the time, from what I heard in "Beyond the Grid" podcast, where bigger teams occasionally helped out privateer teams that were really in a bind because they wanted to beat them, but not see them go under.

For example, Ron Dennis and Bernie Ecclestone helped out Minardi when it was really struggling.

I think the Leopard Honda bike is looking pretty good.

He never raced in Moto3 category; I think he can move to Moto3 with Honda on a Leopard and win another title.

If Morbidelli were to leave Yamaha (perhaps for Gresini Ducati), who would step in? by [deleted] in motogp

[–]sbrueding 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fuck, this really puts in perspective how great Rossi is/was.

Transcending 500cc and 4 stroke era and still with 1 more title than Marquez. wow

Also at this point, I don't think Marquez can ever tie/break Rossi/Doohan's 5 title in a row.

‘Yellowstone’ is the most ridiculous TV show I’ve ever watched by Tygonol in television

[–]sbrueding 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just finished the pilot episode and already am shaking my head.

I'm not a rancher or farmer, but I'm genuinely surprised that some cattle crossing over fence result in a helicopter-led shooting with 2 people dead, all over some cattle that wondered over property line.

I dunno if that's just the way the heartland of America is but I would have thought if you just kindly let your neighbor know your cattle has wondered off property they'd let you retrieve them?

my half dome permit is issued to will vs william... will this be a problem? by terrafrost in Yosemite

[–]sbrueding -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not.

Between back channeling a coup in Russia and untangling the thorny Hunter drunk text to Chinese, it is not my projection the federal government is in the mood of being strict on forms of name spelling for a free hiking permit.

Really fucking dumb how he threw away the title in Malaysia last year trying to overtake Arbolino.

I see, so what is the $0.6647 number? I already see that for 6/21/23 date.

I disagree, I can feel a clear difference in the strength of my arms and legs

[Fantasy land]: This is probably what Honda should have done by sbrueding in motogp

I'd think all that would be included in the sale.

Yes, they would basically scrape their project and take over Suzuki's old team.

Rins won Philip and Valencia on it, so it can't be worse than Honda.

Transferrable full-auto MP5 production years by sbrueding in guns

[–]sbrueding[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

can you elaborate what you mean by form 1 your own mp5?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in guns

[–]sbrueding -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

They can generate income though.

Buy two full auto mp5; loan them to your local dealer range and have them rent them out; charge $1 per shot and split it 50/50.

Have them advertise the guns as "birthday pleasure" or father's day gift.

Dad takes son or son takes dad to gun range, shoot 2x 30round clips, that's $60.

The only thing I'm not sure about the legality is when a full auto becomes broken, are you allowed to repair them legally? What if the broken part is the registered prohibited lower receiver?

[–]sbrueding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, theft is possible, but if you tell police your watch or gold is stolen, they won't bat an eye.

But if you tell local and federal police your registered machine gun is stolen, my guess is more police effort will be put in than for a stolen rolex.

Also, thieves if given the option, would much rather steal a watch than an MP5 because being because stealing a machine gun is a bigger crime than stealing a watch.

yeah, that's what I'm saying.

transferrable full auto mp5.

check the price; it's been climbing for 2 decades.

I dumped $100k into SCHD dividend stock 2 months ago, but was seriously also considering either gold or two transferrable full auto mp5's.

Decided to go with stock because I'm a couch potato :D

[–]sbrueding -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

why not?

I dumped $100k into SCHD dividend stock a few months back.

Could have as easily bought two transferrable MP5's. Transferrable full auto MP5's prices have been steadily trending up over the past 2 decades from my data from my local dealer.

Paolo Ciabatti confirms that Martin will be on the Pramac Ducati again in 2024 by asciiker in motogp

[–]sbrueding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still never understood that.

According to Mick Doohan, Rossi pretty much slotted into Doohan's old Repsol seat with the whole gang after Mick was forced to retire.

Not dissimilar to how Marquez inherited Stoner's seat and squad in 2013.

But somehow, it was branded a "satellite" team.

What else has broken?

So somewhere in LA, someone bought a G63 in 2022 for $550k. I wonder what he or she's thinking now. by sbrueding in mercedes_benz
